Description
"The Settler's Cookbook" is a personal memoir that explores the history of Indian migration to the UK via East Africa through the lens of food and cooking. Yasmin Alibhai-Brown shares her family's journey from India to East Africa during British imperial expansion, their displacement from Uganda in 1972, and their subsequent relocation to the UK. The book delves into the hybrid culinary traditions of Yasmin's family through their unique recipes. For example, who would have thought a curry dish could be enhanced by adding ketchup?
